First Day of School!

Today is Averiana's first day of School!
She is very excited to be with 10 students in a one-room classroom, 4 of whom are 2nd graders!
Averi holds her lunch bag proudly.
Saiah(K), Averi(2nd), and Zeke(3rd) are excited to start school!
Eli and Edie sadly say goodbye.

Packing Averi's lunch bag last night triggered Eli's first set of tears as he realized that he wasn't going to get to go to school with Averi. He says he is going to miss her. Poor thing. Today will be the first time Eli won't have his big sister to protect him (or harass him) when we leave him with a helper while we go to language school.

Please pray for our kids and pray for us too! We started language school two days ago...Mongolian will be no easy task! We will need lots of perseverance and diligence to keep at it every single day! 4 hours of class+3 hours of studying+some practicing with a Mongolian everyday=MISSING OUR KIDS!

We'll pray that you pick it up quickly so you can be with you precious little ones more often!
